Anti-police protesters decided it would be a good idea to storm restaurants in New York City and Oakland, California on Sunday, targeting eateries they decided were “white spaces” based on the skin color of the patrons. This was supposed to link the current anti-cop fever to the lunch-counter civil rights protests of the Sixties — an attempted theft of moral credibility that should enrage the surviving veterans of the civil rights era.
The New York Times has a hilarious article on how Harvard’s faculty ran afoul of the ObamaCare “reforms” they pushed down America’s throat, and they don’t like it one little bit.
Sharyl Attkisson filed a $35 million lawsuit against the Obama administration, specifically the Justice Department and the Postal Service.

The “GamerGate” video game controversy is complicated to trace in its particulars, but it was one of 2014’s most interesting under-the-radar media bias stories. Strip away the various personal conflicts and scandals, and you’ve got a classic story about the corruption of criticism… a perhaps inevitable process that finally overcame humanity’s newest art form last year.
The United States has reportedly aborted an effort to rescue a Jordanian pilot captured by the Islamic State near Raqqa, Syria– the proclaimed “capital” of the Islamic State.
The Centers for Disease Control declared a flu epidemic this week, as the death toll from “influenza-like” complications rose to 15 children.

If you hang around serious Internet nerds long enough, you’ll eventually hear talk of the “Dark Net” or “Deep Web.” These are the shadowy corners of the Internet, in which tracing users or finding websites is made extremely difficult. Conventional
We seem to have a trend here: I’d go so far as to call it a “narrative.” Police officers are denounced as racist killers, an invading army occupying black neighborhoods.
Anyone old enough to recall the Bush presidency might remember that the media used to be very, very concerned about “burger-flipper jobs,” median wages, and career quality.

The Sony Pictures hacking drama ended, at least for the moment, with the besieged studio deciding to authorize a limited release for “The Interview” after all. This came after a storm of criticism of Sony, and the U.S. government that failed to protect them, for caving in to the demands of a hacker group with, shall we say, very strong feelings about the impropriety of mocking North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.
Thanks to an assortment of delay tactics, including a colorful episode where former Tax Exempt Organizations head Lois Lerner was depicted as a one-woman electromagnetic pulse bomb who caused every hard drive she walked past to detonate like a firecracker,

Let’s cut to the chase: we all remember how the entire left and its vast media apparatus rose up as one to blame the Tucson shootings on conservatives in 2011. The process began during breaking-news coverage of Jared Loughner’s rampage,
The New York Times has a lengthy piece on the rise and fall of Yahoo – the Internet giant that pioneered Web searches, helped define the Internet experience by creating a unified start page that still has over 700 million visitors a
In response to First Presidential Attack Ad of 2016 Cycle Jabs Jeb Bush: It looks like the Jebbernaut is going to have a bumpy ride out of the garage. Not only have we got that attack ad as an opening
A nice little coda to the 2014 Republican wave, courtesy of the Associated Press: Republicans will have their largest U.S. House majority in 83 years when the new Congress convenes next month after a recount in Arizona gave the final
Getting enough sleep is a serious matter for me. I had to perform several sleep studies to deal with severe apnea, and it was among the wisest health decisions I’ve made in my life. I’m well-acquainted with everything that can
